IMPHAL, April 10 – The North East Students’ Organisation (NESO) will launch an agitation if the authority fails to revoke the decision to make Hindi as a compulsory subject in the undergraduate courses under the Delhi University.

Disclosing this during a press conference here today, NESO Secretary General Sinam Prakash said that the student organisation has sent a representation to Union Minister of Human Resources Development Dr M Pallam Raju on April 8 in this regard.

The decision of the Delhi University to make Hindi as a compulsory subject in MIL thus deviating from its earlier practice to offer the major Indian languages including Alternative English, is nothing but discrimination of the students of the NE States, he charged.

“NESO will not accept the recent decision of the Delhi University as it deprives the indigenous students from the Northeastern region to study in the University,” he added.
